Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

In the second year of Chunhua, Pan Mei resumed her original job as a school inspector and died of illness a few months later.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang went straight into the study early in the morning to read. Concubine Di couldn't find anyone for a long time. When she saw Baili walking by with tea, she called out, "Baili, where is the prince?"

Baili saw that it was Concubine Di, who saluted and said, "Ma'am, the prince is in the study."

"The study? Why did you go to the study so early in the morning?" Concubine Di shook her head

"My lord said that there are a lot of things going on recently, and I want to read a book and take a break," Baili replied.

"How do you rest while reading? I really don't know what the lord thinks." Concubine Di looked at the refreshments Baili was carrying and asked, "Is Nangong also there?"

Baili was taken aback, "Your Majesty is really amazing, Nangong is indeed in the study"

"Take a look, aren't these two cups of tea?" Concubine Di pointed to the tea bowl, "The one who can discuss things with the prince in the study is Nangong."

Baili suddenly realized, "What your mother said is true, the little one is really confused"

Concubine Di smiled, "Come on, let the prince not be too tired"

"Yes, ma'am," Baili carried the tea into the study.

In the study, Defang was talking to Nangong when Baili came in, "My lord, the tea time is here"

"Put it down," Defang said.

"My lord, just now the empress told you not to be too tired"

"Ma'am?" Defang smiled, "Understood."

After Baili withdrew, Defang asked Nangong, "Nangong, do you think His Majesty might suspend the investigation?"

"Yes, judging from the current situation, there is indeed such a possibility, so please firmly push the investigation, my lord."

"However, since His Majesty ordered the reconnaissance, there has been an increasing trend in the detection of mishandled cases. Will there be any problems if this continues?"

"Not yet, and the intensity of investigation will only increase. Of course, for those officials who are under investigation, it will be too much for them to do so frequently."

"Although it is a good thing to correct improperly reviewed cases, I am afraid that the officials will be afraid, which will be even more detrimental to the trial of the first case." Defang was a little worried

"Is the prince worried that officials are afraid to accept the case because of this?" Nan Gongwen asked

"Well." Defang nodded, "There has been news from the state capital that some officials refused to accept the paper."

"Nowadays, the common people follow the law, and the officials avoid it. However, my lord, this is only short-lived. Those unfair judgments should be corrected. The more this is the case, the more the court should insist."

"Well, the lonely king also wanted to write a letter to His Majesty to suspend the investigation. Hey, the administration of officials has always been the most concerned issue of the court. It seems that the lonely king thinks too much." De Fang shook his head

"Is your lord tired?" Nangong looked at Defang

Defang looked at Nangongwen, didn't speak, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Nangong said again, "Is the prince still afraid?"

Defang raised her head and looked at Nangongwen unhappily, "What did you say!"

"It's a slip of the tongue" Nan Gongwen clapped his hands

Defang got up and opened the door to leave the study. Nan Gongwen said, "The prince wants to stay out of the chaos. Even though he has the heart to serve the country, he is unable to change the status quo. Now that the government has just started, the prince is worried that it will shake the foundation of the country. Isn't he afraid?
